It’s just early enough in the season for our first edition of Small Sample Size Theatre, with particular predictions on the Miami Heat, Darius Acuff Jr., and the Chicago Bulls.

Then, Dave DuFour and Es Baraheni are joined by Keith Parish of the Memphis Grizzlies Grits and Grinds Podcast to discuss: Cam Boozer continuing his winning basketball despite rookie mistakes, Ty Jerome becoming a fully-formed offensive menace, Tuomas Iisalo being the right fit for the job and where the Grizzlies go from here after opening the season with a six-game winning streak.

And we close the show with a closer look at which of the seven one-win teams in the NBA have the best chance at turning their season around.

We still believe in the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Dave DuFour and Es Baraheni check in after a 15-game slate in the NBA to recap Shai Gilgeous-Alexander & Luka Doncic’s heroic 40+ point performances and Houston’s dominant win over the Boston Celtics.

Then, Will Guillory, staff writer for The Athletic who covers the Rockets and Pelicans, joins the show to discuss: internal growth allowing the Rockets to hit another gear early in the season, Fred VanVleet’s return allowing his teammates to find their roles, the credit Alperen Sengun deserves for Houston’s long range shooting success, how Marcus Smart mirrors Ime Udoka and more! Also, what do the Pelicans have planned for Herb Jones, Dejounte Murray and Trey Murphy III?

And we end the show with a salute to Ty Jerome, Draymond Green and the Indiana Pacers.
